I'm not very familiar with the Dick Dastardly and Muttley characters as I never watched Wacky Races or their spin-off show when I was a kid. I thought they were in the background sometimes during the Laff-a-Lympics cartoon back in the late 1970s, but a quick Google search reveals that Hanna-Barbera actually created a couple of knock-offs for that called Mumbly and the Dread Baron because rights weren't available for Muttley and Dick Dastardly at the time. So, no, I have no attachment at all.
And Ennis does little to make me feel attached. Lt. Colonel Richard "Dick" Atcherly and Captain Dudley "Mutt" Muller are U.S. Air Force officers investigating a nuclear explosion in a foreign country when they encounter a drone that is magically transforming those who come into contact with it into cartoon characters. So Muller gets a dog head and Atcherly starts vamping like an old-timey, mustache-twirling villain. They become fugitives pursued by people who are also transforming into cartoon characters. Nothing funny or interesting ensues.
For some reason, rather than having cameos from other Hanna-Barbera characters, Ennis instead squeezes in a few Looney Tunes and Disney icons, mashing some of them up with Lovecraftian monsters -- just 'cuz.
Boring and pointless.
